Kate Gosselin Covers People Magazine With Her 8 Children

Former reality star Kate Gosselin is featured front and center on the latest issue of People magazine. On the cover, the magazine dives into Gosselin’s life with her eight children following her reality television career.

The magazine states that she has no help, no man and no big paycheck. Except for the big paycheck that she’s scoring for showing off herself and her kids on the cover of this particular magazine. Derp, does she think we’re stupid?

“With the cameras stopped, life is very different for Kate Gosselin. Inside her struggles, her biggest regrets and how the kids are really doing now.”

“I’m living very carefully these days,” Gosselin tells PEOPLE in its latest issue, on newsstands Friday.

Now that her TLC reality show is a thing of the past, the matriarch is making ends meet “piecing and patching together” an income from a variety of projects, she says.

For the former nurse, whose marriage to Jon Gosselin imploded on Jon & Kate Plus 8 in 2009 after a cheating scandal hit the tabloids, “To not have a reliable income is scary,” she concedes.

But Gosselin is quick to absorb some of the blame herself.

“I made so many mistakes, of course,” she says, admitting that her own diva-like behavior may have led to her current unemployed state.

Looking back on the heyday of her fame, and the scandal that surrounded her, “It feels like a whole other lifetime ago,” she says. “And sometimes I don’t even remember much of it. Both when the babies were first born and during the divorce, I was on survival mode. I feel like I’ve lived two lifetimes already. I’m not the same person I was … I don’t even recognize her.”

Are you a little bit curious as to how they are living now that the reality TV cameras have stopped tracking their every move?
